Light, Gesture, and Color

Book Description

Jay Maisel, hailed as one of the most brilliant, gifted
photographers of all time, is much more than that. He is a mentor,
teacher, and trailblazer to many photographers, and a hero to those
who feel Jay’s teaching has changed the way they see and
create their own photography. He is a living legend whose work is
studied around the world, and whose teaching style and presentation
garner standing ovations and critical acclaim every time he takes
the stage.

Now, for the first time ever, Jay puts his amazing insights and
learning moments from a lifetime behind the lens into a book that
communicates the three most important aspects of street
photography: light, gesture, and color. Each page unveils something
new and challenges you to rethink everything you know about the
bigger picture of photography. This isn’t a book about
f-stops or ISOs. It’s about seeing. It’s about being
surrounded by the ordinary and learning how to find the
extraordinary. It’s about training your mind, and your eyes,
to see and capture the world in a way that delights, engages, and
captivates your viewers, and there is nobody that communicates
this, visually or through the written word, like Jay Maisel.

Light, Gesture & Color is the seminal work of one of the true
photographic geniuses of our time, and it can be your key to
opening another level of understanding, appreciation, wonder, and
creativity as you learn to express yourself, and your view of the
world, through your camera. If you’re ready to break through
the barriers that have held your photography back and that have
kept you from making the types of images you’ve always
dreamed of, and you’re ready to learn what photography is
really about, you’re holding the key in your hands at this
very moment.
